There is a problem with the configure detection of id3lib on Suse Linux. The following patch should fix it:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1614170&group_id=70849&atid=529223
Extract the original kid3-0.8.1.tar.gz archive, then go into the kid3-0.8.1 directory and apply the patch using:
patch -p1 <../kid3-0.8.1-configure_id3lib_check.patch
Make sure you have the following packages installed:
taglib-devel, id3lib-devel, libtunepimp-devel, libvorbis-devel, flac-devel
does not work
I compiled the program on Suse Linux 10.1.
It starts. But what ever mp3 file I load, it does not show existing mp3 tags, nor can I set new tags.
The programs seems to be totaly useless, very frustrating.
